A FRENCHMAN,s MANNERS.
His Squfrmfngs and Twisfings the Poetry of Contortfon-An Artistic Swfudle.

i swfndle.
 From the Brooklyn Eagle Many years ago I witnessed leave taking | on the platform of the railway station at Rome, Italy, which never think of without associating it with the triumphant art of a Frenchman's manner. The gentleman was 8 member of the French legation at Naples. A lady and her daughter had come to see him off. He made his adieux inimitably ex- pressive. His squirming and twistings were the very poetry of contortion. You felt lit was insincere, that he had perhaps gone through the same motions thousand times before, but you couldn't deny that it was graceful and effective. The cheeks of the younger lady were pink with the emotion produced by the exuberance of his manner. She blushed, not because she was embar- rassed, but because she liked it. The subtle art of the fellows demonstrations made you forgive him for being such professional humbug.
 And this reminds me to say that no other man can manouver his backbone in making 8 bow Frenchman can. He perfectly illustrates the idea expressed by the dictum that curved line is the line of beauty. An Englishman rarely inclines the body in salu- ting lady, and when he does, if your taste is exacting, you wish he hadn't. The Amer ican considers it enough to take off his hat. It saves his spine and it is the conventional thing to do. But when Frenchman salutes his entire anatomy is absorbed in the act. Every joint in his body is brought into play. Every muscle feels the tension of the de- mand. Every nerve center recognizes the importance of the occasion. Viewed simply as pautomime it strikes your admiration The effect is most impressive, and when the object of it is an imaginative and sensitive woman you are disposed to pardon her be- trayal of satisfaction
 Nevertheless there is a disillusionizing sense that the whole thing is an artistic swindle. His affections are no keener, his sympathies no deeper, his perceptions no
 finer than those of other men. He may have more quicksilver in his blood, more of the monkey in his suppleness, find more at traction in outward form and take greater delight in mere ceremonial, but at heart and in truth he is not the incomparable cheva- Her. The master of mode and the knight exemplar of etiquette is not the genuine ex- nOsitor of real palantrv

 This is a just and unexceptionable policy, and as it is reported that our friend Mar quis Tseng is to be placed at the head cf foreign affairs in China it is to be hoped that the Chinese government will insist upon it's being acted upon throughout the whole empire.

This is plain language, but truthful. Douglass is representative colored man, was resident of the District, and the way in which he performed the duties of his office was approved by those whose property was affected by his acts. But Matthews is colored Democratic politician and must be rewarded. It is notorious that he, in disobe- dience of the orders of the President and in violation of the Civil Service principles upon which the President pretends to place such stress, spent time during the last congress sional campaign in electioneering for the de- feat of the Republican candidate for Congress in the Troy district. He has also been charged by some of his colored fellow citi- zens at Albany with attempting to bribe voters.

Finmark is penetrated on the northern
coast by three arms of the Arctic ocean,
Porsanger ford, Lake ford and Tana
ford. We assembled the first for a dis
lance of fifty miles, discharging cargo
and a few Lapp passengers at a fishing
station. We took on board, however,
more passengers than we debarked, and
among them was a Russian. My atten-
ton was called to our Muscovitish acqui-
sition by the engine oiler, who had been
my faithful friend from 1rondhjem, and
knew 1 was bound for Russia. AS we
were sailing away from Sjelvik the oiler,
giving a tug at my hammock, said with
a twinkle in his eye: "Say, mister, have
you seed your Roosh'n friend that's come
aboord2"
mo" said 1; "'where is he?"
"FWhy, don't yeh smell him? Don't
yeh know the Roosh'n smell? That's
him by the galley door. When the winds
in the east, the Norges smell EN- over the
Baltic"
Rising ON my elbow and casting a
glance over the intervening expanse of
unkempt heads and in the direction of
the galley, 1 spied my ''Roosh'n friend"
a tall, lank, shock headed, i'll visaged
specimen, full of whisky, constantly
seeking and as constantly losing his equi-
ibrium. He was soon near enough for
olfactory recognition, when l discovered
that the national odor of the Russ CORE
spends to that of Russia leather, and
comes from an oil of birch bark used in
tanning; SO that all Russians wearing
any leather about their persons are sure
to be i~mpregnated with its peculiar smell.

The greatest affairs among them are
weddings and funerals. The courting-

parents-is usually lone in the summer
